This weekend is all about the past meeting the present as the Seahawks face the Bucs in their 50th anniversary seasons and the Mariners host their first playoff games since 2001.
Emeka Egbuka apparently ties it all together.
Before he was Tampa Bay’s first-round receiver this year, Egbuka was a youth baseball star who threw out the first pitch at Safeco Field (now T-Mobile Park) in 2011. Then he was on the same Ohio State team as Jaxon Smith Njigba.
Egbuka will return to Seattle to face JSN as the Bucs and Seahawks square off in a big battle of 3-1 teams on Sunday, before the Mariners play Game 2 of their division series.
The Hawks and Bucs both will be wearing their original uniforms, and the Hawks will be celebrating their top 50 players as well. This all comes after the Sounders play Portland on Saturday night as well. It is going to be a festive sports weekend in Seattle!
